SWIMSUIT GIVEAWAY!!!

The Swimsuit Goddess (AKA Modbe Clothing consultant Janae) is mindful of our suffering. She heard our wails of despair and has very generously stepped forward to save us from ourselves...and the unflattering and ill-fitting tankini/swimdress that is on layaway at T.J. Maxx.

GIVEAWAY TIME!
One lucky winner will win a swimsuit of her choosing from Modbe's wholesomely sexy line of swimwear!!!

banded bottom= no muffin top (always a good thing)


If there is one bad thing about Modbe swimsuits, it is that they don't multitask.

Contest starts NOW and ends THIS FRIDAY, April 3 at 12pm EST. To enter, simply leave a comment. For a second entry, link to this contest on your blog. The winner will be chosen at random and announced super soon after the contest ends.

Good Luck!

If you want to sponsor a future Mean Mom giveaway, contact me here.

OK, a few things.
First, can you post more than once a day? Like hourly? :) I found your blog a week ago, and whenever I need a laugh -- which is often, I'm a mom! -- I read an article or readers' favorite or something, and dang if I haven't read pretty much everything on your site! Love love love your sense of humor!
Second, since April 3 is my birthday and I haven't bought a non-maternity suit in a few years, I am really hoping to win!
Finally, my blog is boring, but if it gets me closer to that swimsuit, by all means, post it! www.goudyfam.blogspot.com
Thanks!

Rebecca said...

Holly @ Domestic Dork said...

Oh. my. gosh. If ever I wanted to win a giveaway THIS would be it. 3.5 months postpartum = in desperate need of a good swimsuit that I'm NOT embarrassed to be seen in!

Beck said...

Consider me entered Puh-lease (; and when I don't win (cuz I have very bad luck)I will order one on my own because they are too cute!)

Holly @ Domestic Dork said...

I'd love a new swimsuit. Maybe this one can hide my scarry shrivled belly. I deleived four singletons and a set of triplets in 10 years and it shows. Thank you for offering such a great giveaway. I love your blog.

Witenkling Mommy said...

Teresa said...

Lots of comments to wade through! I'd love to win. I desperately need a new swimsuit. I've lost 60 pounds in the last 13 months so what I did own no longer fits.

Angela said...

New Zealand winter, schminter! I want togs!

Unknown said...

I can't remember the last time I bought a bathing suit...

... And I linked to you in my blog! (Which will be published on April 2: http://www.ifferjenn.com/blog/?p=93)

Teri said...

I have always wanted one os these suits...SUPER CUTE! PLEASE PICK ME...I never win anything!

Stephanie said...

Oh for heaven's sake, Jana! 822 comments?! I feel like whoever that girl is that's Hannah Montana's alter-ego's friend and has to watch her have a crowd of adoring fans. Of course, we're not really real-life friends, so I just realized that was probably a slightly stalkerish analogy.

Anyway, count me in on this one as long as you PROMISE that you will not post a picture of the winner wearing the prize like you did for your holiday sweater. :)

I can still recall the day in about 1968 when a girlfriend's family invited me to the "beach"
at a local man made lake.
I'm not a swimmer and din't have a suit, so I wore one of her mom's.
It had those padded reinforced cups, and needless to say, at 12 years old I did not fill them out. I got a few strange looks when I arose after tanning while lying on my tummy...the cups were caved in !!
Talk about being MORTIFIED...........
